Thank goodness, I have been optimising for clients, search engines, content, robots, humans, clients, potential clients, competitors <-- well in a strategic way, read all the content followed all the content then pow - site nuked, whilst listening to a feed on better Internet marketing the guy was saying 'seo waste of time' you do loads of work and then something changes and then you loose all that work.

I did not believe this and then I wake up to find my site gone - somewhere in the 500 mark.

Turns out that my ISP have had problems last month that have effected me this month so that is why I posted the question. - Now all I need to do is find an ISP that optimises for 5 9's of reliability.

The paradox was this: UPS failure - I mean what a laugh - UPS - did they mean IPS? Interupted Power Supply? - That lead to 100 servers going down, that lead my server being last in the queue, that lead to check disks on Linux that lead to a currupt hard drive that lead to a shafted back up server that lead to a new IP address that lead to DNS convergence time.

Wow and I thought I was one lucky dude when I got my site into number 2 position - how wrong could I have been. Thank God Google responded to me and told me I was ok and the problem was here until the next update, I can once again fly the SEO flag high and proud. I am optimising for users, my next step - look for a reliable ISP. . . . .The guys in this forum are true professionals, together we can change and build a better Internet for our next generation of wiz kids - keep up the good work guys :-)

If it all goes pear shape, im offering PPC management...
